Using diagrams and images can be very useful when teaching anatomy and physiological processes in science courses. Having an image of the organs in a human body and the structures of cells and muscles should help students understand the mechanisms behind how they function. I know pictures and diagrams always help me reinforce information. In the physiology course I recently took pictures were very important because they helped me understand the functions of the different parts of the body.
